Bill and Oti were crowned the winners of Strictly Come Dancing 2020 on Saturday’s final.
The comedian, 55, became the oldest champion in the show’s history as he scooped the Glitterball trophy on Saturday, and paid tribute to his professional partner for ‘turning him into a dancer.’
The victory also made Oti Strictly’s first-ever back-to-back champion in the show’s history, and the dancer also praised her celebrity partner for being ‘a friend, father figure and brother.’
As they prepared to lift the Glitterball trophy, Bill said: ‘It feels surreal, it feels extraordinary, it feels wonderful, I never thought we’d get to the final but I had the most extraordinary teacher.

Earlier in the show Bill and Oti delivered a fierce Showdance complete with pyrotechnics, lifts, and plenty of drama, to Queen’s The Show Must Go On with even Craig gushing it ‘reeked of desperation and I loved it.’
The duo received their first ever 30 for the performance, and the first perfect score of the evening, with Bill fighting back tears as he vowed the dance was a symbol of the nation carrying on during such unprecedented times.
It came after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s announcement earlier on Saturday, where he cancelled Christmas for more than 18m people and put a third of England, including London, into a brutal new ‘Tier 4’ from midnight
Also competing in the final were HRVY and Janette, Maisie and Gorka and Jamie and Karen.
